  Esperanto was created by Polish ophthalmologist L. L. Zamenhof in 1887. His goal was to create an easy and flexible language that would serve as a universal second language to foster world peace and international understanding, and to build a “community of speakers”, as he believed that one could not have a language without such a community.
